HMV.com has a good selection too, but although the CDs are reasonably priced, the delivery seems to be more expensive, particularly as you're outside of the UK. It's still worth a look if there are CDs that you can't get elsewhere, though.

Whilst Amazon doesn;t have a dutch version; any amazon site will ship to Netherlands. Check with the seller; but the majority of them will ship to Europe; I know this from experience as I ordered from amazon.de. Other sites are good disogs, like ebay which have stuff for sell, only difference is there isnt an auction unless you count buy it now. Gemm is really good; so is musicstack and Netsounds music. I haven;t found any Clannad in my HMV; online may work but I think only stocks a few titles. Allcelticmusic is a good site, not sure about musicinscotland and musicscotland.

I dont think the shipping on hmv is that expensive tbh.

With amazon.com make sure to check whether or not you buy from Amazon directly or from a third company. The third companies all have their own charges, so in one order (combining more suppliers) you can have several times transportcharges. Furthermore, a few months ago we ordered some cd's at the same time, because they did not fit in an envelope they were sent in a package --> we had to pay quite a lot of import-duties to dutch customs.

Why not look in musicstores first, then buy what you can from the internet. Also...perhaps you can hint people that you would like to get them as a present?

I would say, don't buy them all at once, leave something to be desired. Than you can have several times fun about your new cd's...

Don't forget in a lifetime the best of clannad.

I did a comparison once on one and the same product - it turned out the price from US and UK was less than the price I would be paying if I got it from the german Amazon!! I didn't get it - Germany and the Netherlands are (direct) neighbours and yet it was way more expensive.
The product itself was more expensively priced in Germany, and the converted price in USD or GBP was cheaper, hence the difference. The German Amazon is more expensive that way.

Also, I found that Uk is very fast with shipping as well! It all depends on where you live but it definitely pays off to check the other Amazon sites out before buying anything!

There could be various reasons why some Moya/Clannad CD's are not available,this often depends on the country.Looking abroad often results in a positive outcome,I had this experience in the past.
Regarding the U2 CD's, it's not entirely true that all are still available,the older versions in particular.Most of the albums have been remastered,one has to be lucky to come across the original version ( often a limited edition too).
